In the December issue of GLAMOUR magazine, Renee Boje offers an exclusive interview about her protracted feud that pits the state of California against the U.S. Federal government over the legality of using marijuana for medicinal purposes. 
Faced with a ten-year-to-life sentence, Boje candidly talks to GLAMOUR's National Affairs Editor David France at her Canadian hideout about how she became an accidental fugitive for simply helping a friend illustrate a book called "How To Grow Medicinal Marijuana."http://growmedicine.com/Boje maintains her innocence, and now seeks political asylum in Canada--she currently lives in British Columbia. Known to the U.S. Feds as a "Medical-Marijuana Queenpin," Boje is outspoken about her situation. "Sometimes I'm scared," she admits. "It was hard at the beginning, for sure. I didn't quite know what was going to happen to me when I ran from the U.S. I just thought to myself: Freedom, and the rest of the world--or a possible 10 years to life in a U.S. prison? So I said, 'Wait a minute, the rest of the world sounds really good.'" NOTE: An advance copy of the GLAMOUR article can be obtained by calling Robert Pini or Lauren Sueskind.
